In this episode, Pete talks specifically about common emitter configurations. As always, feel free to leave any questions or comments below. If you’re a few episodes behind, or you want to spend all day learning about electronics, check out the “According to Pete” YouTube playlist.

We’ll see you again next month for another edition of “According to Pete!”

Kudos to Pete for another fine video. Most of it was actually not over my head, and that’s really exciting! Actually, I I’m pretty sure I understood the whole thing. I just need to re-watch it and pause for some occasional math so I can practice figuring out the necessary component values to achieve a given result. Thanks again, Pete!
